We are proud of the partnership between the Arizona Humanities Council and the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records! One component of this partnership is the Arizona Reading Program (ARP). Begun in 1974, the Arizona Reading Program was created to promote books, reading, and literacy for Arizonans. This year a new collaborator has been added. The Arizona Humane Society joins us for the reading theme Books and Pets: Our Friends for Life!, with a focus on humane education. An understanding of our pets, their needs and their characteristics, can only enhance our enjoyment of them and ensure their well-being. For many, pets are an important part of everyday life. For others, pets are appreciated through the power of the imagination and through literature. We invite you to spend some of your reading time with our theme and celebrate the joy of reading and the joy pets bring to our lives. Sincerely, GladysAnn Wells, State Librarian STATE CAPITOL 1700 W.

Now entering its third year, "Arizona Reads," the organization the two agencies created in 1999 to foster reading, continues to expand to all corners of the state. The Arizona Reading Program, one of three projects under the "Arizona Reads" umbrella, is issuing its manual in a more timely fashion, and the information is being revised to include more practical, feasible, and age-based activitiesbased on suggestions from you, the librarians in the field. The Arizona Reading Program will continue the practice started last yearthat is, offering workshops in several communities throughout the state. We also invite you to join the steering committee for the Arizona Reading Program, which has been serving Arizona's library community for more than twenty-five years. It is your comments, which are framed by your experiences with youth in libraries, that help our staff and committee members design and build a thematic program that works for all of you, regardless of your library's location, budget, or staff size. This year, the manual's theme is "Books and Pets: Our Friends for Life!" We hope the exercises and materials that follow will be a significant attraction in your library, andwe look forward to your feedback during the year. AHC and the State Library are also pleased to welcome the Arizona Humane Society as a contributor. We all support and cherish children, pets, and reading, so it comes as no surprise that we should include them in this year's manual. In addition to the Arizona Reading Program, "Arizona Reads" also includes Motheread Arizona, a unique literacy and parenting program, and the ever-popular Community Book Discussion Program, which offers books and facilitators for adult audiences. Don't hesitate to call AHC if you want to learn more about these other "Arizona Reads" programs, and be sure to look for workshops in your community that are conducted by AHC and the State Library. On behalf of the board of directors and staff of the Arizona Humanities Council, Iam honored to join with the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records to provide these important and meaningful programs. We look forward to a continuing relationship with you, as we all work to foster an appreciation of reading in Arizona. Sincerely, guirrow Dan Shilling ARIZONA HUMANITIES COUNCIL The Ellis-Shackelford House - 1242 North Central Avenue- Phoenix, AZ 85004-1887 602/257-0335 - Fax: 602/257-0392 - www.azhumanities.org Welcome to the Arizona Reading Program for 2002, Book and Pets: Our Friends for Life! We believe this theme is a rich one, full of possibilities for entertaining and educa- tional programming based on two of a child's best friends. Both books and pets touch our lives in so many heartfelt ways, and we hope that by bringing them together in this theme, we can increase our appreciation of both. The ARP Manual is intended to provide you with ready-to-use materials as well as inspire you to discover resources already available in your branches and communities. We have also developed a set of materials that are appealing and fun for kids, and hope these items will help you encourage them to participate in your Arizona Reading Program.

  • Breeding Policy
    PERSIAN LONGHAIR BREED ADVISORY COMMITTEE Breeding Policy SUPREME UK OG & IMP GR CH GEMKIN STARWIND OVERALL SUPREME EXHIBIT 2012 & 2013 CONTENTS Introduction Origins of the Breed Pattern Groups Genetic Make-up Breeding System Inbreeding Genetic Defects Grooming Introduction With the formation of a consolidated BAC for Persian Longhairs, the requirement to pro- duce a breeding policy has given the BAC the opportunity to review the Registration Poli- cies and Standards of Points for Persians. Some of the policies for the individual pattern groups have not been reviewed or revised for some years. During this time, the Fancy has altered considerably, with the number of Persians being shown dropping dramati- cally, with a consequent reduction in breeders and breeding cats but also, on the plus side, the ability to show longhairs from Exotic or Exotic/Persian breeding at championship level in the section. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders to enable them to observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Persian Longhairs. The aims of these amendments are to: open up the gene-pool enable breeders to outcross make it easier for breeders to import outcross bloodlines The over-riding factor should always be to maintain health, and preserve the unique qualities of this stunning breed, coat colour, length and texture, beautiful large, round eyes and sweet facial expression, which makes them sought after both for showing and as wonderful family pets. Origins of the Breed The breed’s name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.

  • TICA Laperm and Laperm Shorthair Breed Introduction
    TICA LaPerm and LaPerm Shorthair Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The LaPerm is a distinctive cat that charms everyone it meets with its soft coat of shaggy curls and ringlets sometimes called a gypsy shag. These are intelligent, active cats who carefully think through just how to get that toy placed just out of reach. The name reflects their Native American connection with the Chinook tribe who traditionally used the French definite article when creating new words. Breed founder Linda Koehl thought the cats' coat looked like a loose perm and thus named the new breed LaPerm. It is a lean muscular cat with no exaggerated features as is befitting its farm background as a working cat. In addition to the distinctive curly coat with its mohair texture, the LaPerm has enchanting large, expressive almond-shaped eyes. History : On March 1st, 1982 Linda Koehl watched a brown tabby cat named Speedy have a litter of 6 kittens in a barn in her cherry orchard and witnessed the birth of a new rex mutation: a long, skinny, hairless kitten with large wide-spaced ears, and a tabby pattern apparent in the skin like a tattoo. At 6 weeks the kitten developed a sparse curly shorthaired coat with a brown classic tabby pattern and Linda named her Curly. As she matured, Curly developed a soft wavy coat. Over time, more curly coated cats appeared and fascinated visitors to the farm who told Linda she had something special. She entered six cats in a cat show to see what people thought.

  • Basic Cat Genetics
    1 Basic Cat Genetics Felis sylvestra All domestic cats are descended from a wild ancestor (probably either Felis silvestris or Felis lybica) a mackerel tabby patterned animal, and thus all domestic cats are of an underlying genetic tab by pattern. All cats have 19 pairs of chromosomes upon which there are many thousands of genes that govern the eventual shape, size, sex, colour, pattern and hair length of the individual animal. Over the generations a number of mutations have occurred a nd selective breeding has been used to isolate these to produce the various pedigree breeds we see today. 2 The mapping of the feline genome has indentified the genes that control coat, colour and pattern in cats along with those that control body size, shap e and conformation and those which control diseases and structural abnormalities. Genetics Gene: (from the Greek genos) is the hereditary factor transmitted by each parent to offspring which determines hereditary characteristics. Genetics: the scientif ic study of the heredity of individuals, especially of inherited characteristics. Genes: All animals have 20 - 25,000 genes; e very living being that is reproduced from two parents inherits characteristics equally from both of them. These characteristics are determined by genes, control mechanisms carried rather like beads on strings along two rod - like bodies, called chromosomes. For each particular trait or characteristic, there is a gene arranged in a particular order along the chromosome that controls the e xpression of that trait. Cells and Chromosomes: Living organisms are composed of cells. A typical cell contains a nucleus within which are DNA and RNA - the building blocks of life.

  • Why the Blotched Tabby Is a Classic!
    Everything you need to know about Genetics… You can learn from your Cat! PART TWO BY DR. LESLIE LYONS Ph.D WHY THE BLOTCHED TABBY IS A CLASSIC! College Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778) is known as the "father of modern taxonomy for of developing the binomial nomenclature (genus species), the modern system of Veterinary naming organisms. For each named organism, an archetype or voucher Medicine, individual is identified and maintained in a museum. Linnaeus, himself, is the University “voucher” specimen for homo sapien, man. of Linnaeus spent his life dedicated to the pursuit of taxonomy and in 1758, his Missouri works declared the domestic cat as, Felis catus; Linneaus, 1758)1. His description of the archetype specimen is: {F. cauda elongata, corpore fasciis nigricantibus; dorsalibus longitudinalibus tribus; lateralibus spiralibus}. – a blotched tabby. Many taxonomists have worked to properly classify cats and felids, which is an ongoing process2-6. The early taxonomists considered the tabby pattern of domestic cat as dimorphic, having two pattern-phases - blotched and torquata (striped). Striped tabbies were more noted in the African wildcats (Felis lybica; Forster, 1780) and European wildcats (Felis silvestris; Schreber, 1777), but the blotched tabby was only found in domestics. Hence, the voucher specimen for the domestic cat is the “blotched” tabby – and no doubt, why blotched tabby is also called the “classic” tabby! The term “tabby” pre-dates the formal cat taxonomy and was used in the 1630’s as an adjective describing "striped silk taffeta," from French word tabis "a rich, watered silk" (originally striped), from Middle French atabis (14c.), from Arabic 'attabi, from 'Attabiyah, a neighborhood of Baghdad where such cloth was made, said to be named for prince 'Attab of the Omayyad dynasty7.
